CANCUNCARE/SAGGY BOTTOM WISHES WONDERS & WHODATS WEEKEND version 2.0

WHAT?
A gathering of fun loving, inclusive and giving people from all walks of life interested in having a great time in an awesome city and being a part of the groups effort to raise and donate $100,000.00 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

WHO?
Cancuncare members, locals, friends, neighbors, saggy bottoms, business associates, sponsors, friends of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and everyone you/we know….even the kids (except for the pub crawl & meet and greet of course) The more that participate the merrier and the closer we can all get to OUR $100,000.00 goal

One of the most influential CEO’s in the country will be present. The CEO of the Make-A-Wish Foundation was so impressed with all of OUR efforts last year that she has decided she will be attending that weekend to lend her full support and the kids waiting to be granted wishes will be featured in OUR groups parade through the quarter on that Saturday.

WHERE?
The host hotel is the Majestic Hotel Monteleone in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana.

WHEN?
The weekend of September 7-9 2012

COST?
We have blocked 100 hotel rooms for each night on that weekend and are expecting all of them to sell out again this year. The cost is only $145.00 per room per night and whatever it costs you to get there, to eat and drink. All other scheduled events are free to those particpating (except the sunday brunch)

DONATIONS?
We are asking all those attending this year (as well as those who can not attend) to get involved early and make a year long commitment to give something (no matter how small) every month from now until the weekend of the big celebration party. 100 percent of every cent raised/donated goes directly to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

$100,000.00 is not just a one time single BIG donation, it’s just great giving people being committed to doing small donations every day, every month, all year long - the weekend in September is simply a celebration of OUR year long effort.
